Smile is a PPC-only software. Smile is a user-friendly AppleScript editor for beginners, and an integrated environment for AppleScript developers. Smile fills Script Editor's main gaps (Search, 32k limit, drag & drop, "Handler" pop-up menu, live scrolling), is faster (Smile is PPC native), it has a built-in "Script" menu, and it implements the most recent Apple technologies (Appearance, Navigation). Smile includes text windows which offer a favorable environment for editing and debugging scripts. In text windows, scripts can be executed on a line-by-line basis, or in selected blocks. Being able to execute specific lines is a very powerful feature for a fast and efficient debugging. In line help easily available and much documented. Smile is of interest to AppleScript developers and experts. It is scriptable, recordable, attachable, and factored. The Smile package includes the Satimage osax. The Smile package is a freeware or, more accurately said, a feedbackware - our company uses it internally. Thank you.

Startup Doubler makes for faster startups! Its software acceleration compensates for sub-optimal disk performance to make extensions, control panels, the Finder and startup apps load faster. *Zap through all those startup icons! *Save time each time you startup your Mac! *Startup your Powerbook faster at airports (and everywhere else!) *Works on any Mac running System 7.0 to Mac OS 8.6 *Savings depend on the specifics of each Mac setup: slower Macs will benefit the most! Those seconds spent waiting really add up: Startup Doubler usually makes startups 20% to 50% faster, depending on the performance of your startup disk and the number of Extensions, Control Panels and Startup Items in your System! Startup Doubler 2.0 features a new acceleration method designed to improve upon version 1.2.1's performance. Depending on conditions, it may be up to about 30% faster, which makes it the fastest startup acceleration solution available today! This new version also makes startup apps load faster, improves times with Virtual Memory, actively supports multiple Extension Sets, is able to accelerate even after crashes and disk switches that stumped previous versions, supports Mac OS 8.6, and more! It is free to registered users of previous versions. Tests with Speed Startup 1.0 show its performance to be close to that of Startup Doubler 1.2.1, but not as fast as Startup Doubler 2.0. Startup Doubler 2.0 saves about 10% to 20% more time at each startup!

PRAM Battery Checker is a program which will inform you if your computerÕs PRAM battery has died. What is a PRAM Battery? The PRAM battery is a small battery inside your computer that allows your computer to remember certain settings even when the power is turned off. They have a limited lifetime and usually last a couple of years, but can die much sooner. What can happen if my PRAM battery dies? Your computer can forget what time it is, forget which disk to start up from, forget your monitorÕs settings or not start up at all. Why would I want to use this program? If you are a system administrator for a large lab of computers you will like a tool to help you find the source of many common problems quickly. Dead batteries can cause a variety of problems for users. You may want to place it on your parentÕs computers since it has been my experience that many parents arenÕt computer savvy and will work through the problems caused by dead PRAM batteries as opposed to replacing them.

Version Master compiles a list of all of the software on a Mac. Users download the current version numbers and update locations from the Version Master server. The Version Master server currently tracks over 60,000 software titles from 50 countries. Version Master keeps track of 680xx, PowerPC and FAT versions of software. It also tracks beta versions of software independently from release versions of the same software. Software is also categorized by "country code" so localized versions may be tracked. As an added bonus, users may indicate that they would like to receive e-mail notification whenever a newer version of some specific software becomes available. The e-mail feature requires payment of the annual subscription fee. Version Master 2.0 includes eight languages selected from a menu: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish.

It allows synchronyzation between a local folder on a mac with a directory on a FTP server. WebSynch uses the FTP protocol (File Transfer Protocol) to transfer files and can thus also be used to download FTP sites (see Usage Examples). WebSynch combines the ease of use of the Macintosh interface with a powerful FTP engine. The result is a unique program which becomes essential if you often update your Web Site or want to keep track of new files on a FTP server. Here are some of the features of WebSync: very easy to use Finder-like Interface. fully threaded synchronization, allowing to work on other things during this time. Use of Internet Config for default FTP server, FTP proxy, file type mapping (WebSynch can function without IC but it works much better if IC is installed). Supports a wide variety of FTP servers, works with all popular FTP servers like wu-ftp, NetPresenz and Windows NT FTP. Customisable with a set of useful preferences. Mirrored/Non mirrored Download and Upload. (to come) Continue transfer of the file if the transfer was canceled. Various synchronization modes using the file date and/or the size.

[Q] How do you know if a new OS will make you more productive? [A] You don't. I have upgraded OSes for years to have the latest and greatest. Productivity gains came later. I never have known that a new OS would make me more productive, and yet, they all have - eventually. Now, if Apple mucks with the interface and makes it this NeXT thing, that may change. At that point Windows becomes more Mac-like than Mac. One only hopes Apple can see this. We have listened to the Apple doomsayers for years, and they have been wrong. But they will cease to be wrong when Mac users add to those predictions "and good riddance." So I say: keep upgrading while the interface is good (i.e. Mac-like), and then stop. When it all goes to hell in a handbasket, you'll be doing as well as you can. -- susan pinochet philosophy etexts in doc format for palm computing platform ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 09:29:43 -0400 From: "Nationwide e-mail gateway" Subject: [R]hierarchical menus Another hierarchical menu program is Behierarchic by Fabian Octave.

May I mention another argument for keeping happy with older versions of the OS? I still work with 7.1 on a LC-III, with lots of extra memory etc. This is more than enough for the things I do: mainly text-processing and type setting. Moving to a newer version would urge me to buy upgrades for several programs. For example, I have an old version of Quark Xpress that works perfectly fine and offers me enough functionality. I do not have the resources (nor do I feel the need) to update Quark to the present level, but even this old version of mine does not run under Mac OS 7.5. I have a very stable system now and absolutely no desire to change that. But..... the outside world forces me to consider an upgrade of both hard and software: I'd like to subscribe to the internet facilities my TV cable company is offering and they only provide that for Mac OS 7.5 upwards. So either I have to choose for an OS upgrade with an additional several thousand US$ to update my software, or accept the awfull situation of having multiple versions of the OS on one machine, using one for internet applications and another one for my installed software.
